I would consider myself to be
a happy person
as I have no reason not to be
But no matter how hard I try
the darkness is always there at
the back of my mind
Old demons try to force their way
through my defenses
it is a constant battle
A tug of war between
different emotions
testing the mind
Until now, I have been determined
I refused to let the bad eclipse
the good
However one becomes tired of this
inner struggle
I feel drained
The demons
have broken
through
I'm slipping into
the darkness
again.
